AdrenalineRush Posted March 22, 2017 #826 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Only seeing a late night service fee on Royal's website. A: Room service is available onboard any time of the day or night - simply order from the room service menu located in your stateroom/suite (late night service charge of $7.95* applies). *Service charge subject to change without notice.

ColumbiaMDCanadian Posted March 22, 2017 #828 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Allow me to go one step further for those that are still insisting it's late night only..;. Here's the *breakfast* menu link posted today: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/content/en_US/pdf/Room_Service_Menu_2017.pdf Note it's from the US site and yep, want hot? $7.95. Too bad, one of our favourite activities - breakfast on the balcony - on one our favourite cruise line spoiled by a nuisance charge. $8 per day isn't going to blow the budget but if you can still bring me all the cold stuff for free it ain't about the delivery. I understood that for late night - actually made sense. But a charge whether the tray has hot stuff or cold stuff on it? Seriously? Sheesh.

CaptainBazinga Posted March 22, 2017 #829 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Folks it's 7.95 PER STATEROOM....Are people really concerned about this? It's a $7.95 delivery charge per order. Starting with the lucky folks on the 11 night March 27th Serenade sailing, most of whom are blissfully unaware of the change. A hot room service breakfast every morning and maybe a little something half the afternoons or evenings during their cruise, and it's no longer just $7.95 but over $125 they didn't budget or expect when they paid for the cruise. Awesome! Symphony of the Seas is exempt, and I am already booked. Nope, not exempt. Just not affected by the roll out since she hasn't sailed yet and thereby never had free room service.

When Voyager came out first few months Johnny Rockets was free, when I sailed her 3rd month I showed up and they started charging a cover charge. No advance notice... Cruise lines change rate of tips, a lot lately, and if you didn't prepay you pay the higher rate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Then your mission, should you accept it, is to report back how it works out on your cruise. No trays in hallways? Guests storming GS? And, if you actually order room service, quicker delivery with hot items hot and better sounding food actually better? As far as Harmony, according to the roll- out schedule, she goes to $7.95 on April 1st. Anthem and Ovation also will be getting the new $7.95 menu. So for those ships, it is a better deal - until it's not. ~ Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdj101 Posted March 22, 2017 #837 Share Posted March 22, 2017 If royal want to charge then that's fine by me and their prerogative, HOWEVER. I and many others have not had a choice on whether we can or can't pay this charge. I think the main issue it's it's implementation. Once I've done these cruises then I may decide that I want to try another cruise line that is not charging for room service or way up the costs of the other cruise line and a royal cruise where I'm paying an extra $222 on a two week cruise. We tend to have breakfast on our balcony and afternoon tea in the room when we are chilling before the evenings entertainment. I have 3 up and coming cruises and 4 staterooms, one suite on one cruise and a balcony on another were booked with Casino VIP Vouchers. Do Royal really want me spending my hard earned money on another cruise ship for $16 a day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter Posted March 22, 2017 #838 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I can't confirm his/her story. Hopefully it is not true. All the little extra fees add up.

Ocean Boy Posted March 22, 2017 #841 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Wow, I just read the previous 2 pages and the lawyers are getting into it. It's making my head hurt. I think I'll got to the thread where this Pax is complaining about the cabin on Liberty as her child is in the bunk bed above theirs and affected their sex life during the cruise. At least the kid isn't in bed with them. That is the best form of birth control ever invented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrrickyg Posted March 22, 2017 #845 Share Posted March 22, 2017 April 30th will be my 5th cruise and 2nd with RCI. One constant thing I remember is that room service took forever, arrived cold, and was underwhelming. If the food quality is better and/or the delivery is faster I'd rather pay the $7.95 fee then have it be free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted March 22, 2017 #848 Share Posted March 22, 2017 A hot room service breakfast every morning and maybe a little something half the afternoons or evenings during their cruise, and it's no longer just $7.95 but over $125 they didn't budget or expect when they paid for the cruise. But also for something that if they don't have still won't mean they miss out on meals on the cruise. They can keep the same budget but still have the same meals.

Rare BecciBoo Posted March 22, 2017 #849 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just sent my official protest to C&A. If this causes enough flap, I really think they might back off...at least they did in the great Diamond Cocktail debacle several years ago...when they went back to the Diamond Lounge concept with food and drinks instead of peanuts and beer/wine. You opinion does help. Emails or letters do work sometimes. As a last resort....MSC is winking at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
